                        Thursday, April 27, 2006

  Ms. HART. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
recognize and congratulate Charles Mohan for all of his hard work with 
the United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation, UMDF.
  This year the UMDF celebrates its 10th anniversary and the retirement 
of founder and Board Chair, Charles Mohan. Mr. Mohan started the 
foundation after his daughter, Gina, lost her courageous struggle with 
mitochondrial disease. The UMDF is headquartered in Pittsburgh and has 
funded more than $3,000,000 for research to find a cure for this 
devastating disease.
  I ask my colleagues in the House of Representatives to join me in 
congratulating Charles Mohan for his work with the UMDF. It is an honor 
to represent the Fourth Congressional District of Pennsylvania and a 
pleasure to salute such a dedicated individual.
